  • Sparkly NBD

    Got a raise for on the first of the year, saw a great deal on an Aerodyne P-Bass and well.... here we are. Very cool, very light and sounds great. Only thing is the bone white pickup cover doesn't really match the cream binding and my OCD is telling me to swap out the pickup, so it will definitely happen eventually.

        I the gray jazz bass is dead sexy, too. I just prefer a P bass.

          Yeah, I've only seen black, too. Besdes green and grey, what other colors did they have? Is there anything special about them other than the body shape?

            They're a little thinner, matching headstocks. My P bass is light but still well balanced. There teles, strats, P and J bass in white, gray, blue, green and "hot rod burst". I didn't see all models in all colors, but the gray tele and jazz bass really do it for me.

              Does the thinner body make it more neck heavy?

                Not only thinner but the tops are curved. Very comfortable to play. I picked up a Jazz before and it was not neck heavy at all.

                  Oh cool...my Brian Moore guitar is curved like that, too. (not mine, but a better pic than I have)

                    I'm glad the "thinner bodies aren't inherently worse" crowd is finally having someone stand up for them
                    You will never understand How it feels to live your life With no meaning or control And with nowhere left to go You are amazed that they exist And they burn so bright
                    Whilst you can only wonder why

                      Is it an illusion, or is that whole body curved?

                        The whole thing is curved.

                          Is it comfortable? Most guitars grate into my hip bone, this looks like it wouldn't.

                            Yeah, I think that is the problem it was designed to solve. It is super comfortable.

                              The original run back in the early 00's was all black, IIRC. They've released them in other colours since. There was even a red Aerodyne Strat with a flamed maple top.
